4. FIRST AID MEASURES

INHALATION:
IF FUMES FROM IGNITION OR CONTENTS ARE INHALED, REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. WATCH
FOR SIGNS OF ALLERGIC REACTION. IF OTHER SYMPTOMS DEVELOP, GET MEDICAL AID
IMMEDIATELY.

SKIN:
FOR BURNS, COOL WITH WATER AND BANDAGE APPROPRIATELY. IF CONTENTS ARE
CONTACTED, WASH WITH AREA WITH SOAP AND WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. REMOVE
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND WASH BEFORE REUSE. GET MEDICAL AID IF BURNED OR
IRRITATION OCCURS.

AID IMMEDIATELY.

PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND PRECAUTIONS FOR FIREFIGHTERS:
WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS WITH FULL FACE PIECE OPERATED IN THE PRESSURE DEMAND OR OTHER

UNBURNT NEARBY PRODUCT WITH WATER. COMBAT FIRE FROM A SHELTERED POSITION.

SPECIFIC HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE CHEMICAL:
FLAME AND SPARKS ARE EJECTED OUT THE OPEN END OF THE FLARE WHEN IT
FUNCTIONS. DO NOT POINT FLARE AT ANY PART OF THE BODY OR FLAMMABLE
MATERIAL. ONLY USE OUTDOORS - SMOKE IS HARMFUL. CONTENTS MAY IGNITE AND
BURN EXPLOSIVELY WHEN SUSPENDED IN AIR AND EXPOSED TO OPEN FLAME OR SPARK.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
PREVENT DISPERSION OF CONTENTS ON SOIL AND IN WATER. PREVENT CONTENTS FROM
SPREADING OR ENTERING INTO DRAINS, DITCHES, GROUNDWATER OR RIVERS BY USING
APPROPRIATE BARRIERS.

METHODS FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEAN-UP:
USE CAUTION WHEN CLEANING UP SPILLED PRODUCT CONTENTS. REMOVE HEAT, FLAMES,
SPARKS AND OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION. USE NON-SPARKING TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT.
PREVENT BUILDUP OF ELECTROSTATIC CHARGES BY GROUNDING. CLEAN SPILLS IN A
MANNER THAT DOES NOT DISPERSE DUST INTO THE AIR. DO NOT ABSORB IN SAWDUST
OR OTHER COMBUSTIBLE ABSORBENTS. PICK UP SPILL FOR RECOVERY OR DISPOSAL AND
PLACE IN AN APPROVED CONTAINER. WASH AWAY REMAINDER WITH PLENTY OF WATER.
COLLECT WASH WATER FOR APPROVED DISPOSAL.

ACUTE DOSE EFFECTS:
BURNING FLARE CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS IF IN CONTACT WITH BODY. CONTENTS MAY
CAUSE MODERATE EYE IRRITATION OR BURNS. CONTACT WITH SKIN CAUSES IRRITATION
AND POSSIBLE BURNS, ESPECIALLY IF SKIN IS WET OR MOIST. INGESTION OF
CONTENTS MAY CAUSE GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATION WITH NAUSEA, VOMITING AND
DIARRHEA. INHALATION OF SMOKE OR CONTENTS WILL CAUSE IRRITATION TO THE
LUNGS AND MUCUS MEMBRANE. INDIVIDUALS WITH KNOWN ALLERGIES TO SULFIDE DRUGS
MAY ALSO HAVE ALLERGIC REACTIONS TO ELEMENTAL SULFUR.

IRRITATION:
IRRITATING TO THE SKIN AND EYES ON CONTACT. INHALATION WILL CAUSE
IRRITATION TO THE LUNGS AND MUCUS MEMBRANE.

CORROSIVITY: BURNING FLARE CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS IF IN CONTACT WITH BODY

CARCINOGEN BY OSHA

REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: NO INFORMATION FOUND

GENETIC EFFECTS: NO INFORMATION FOUND

NEUROLOGICAL EFFECTS: NO INFORMATION FOUND

DEVELOPMENTAL EFFECTS:
PERCHLORATE EXPOSURE AT CERTAIN LEVELS CAN DISRUPT THE FUNCTION OF THE
THYROID GLAND BY INTERFERING WITH THE IODIDE UPTAKE AND THYROID HORMONE
PRODUCTION. THIS INTERFERENCE MAY LEAD TO DEVELOPMENTAL DEFECTS. SCIENTISTS
CONSIDER PREGNANT WOMEN, CHILDREN, INFANTS, AND INDIVIDUALS WITH THYROID
DISORDERS TO BE THE POPULATIONS MOST AT RISK OF HARM FROM BEING EXPOSED TO
PERCHLORATE.
